Dress Code Reminders

We realize many students received some beautiful new clothes for the holidays. We also realize midriff and off the shoulder styles are in fashion now. While some styles are great on the weekends, they may not be as appropriate for school. Please remember that we require that every student wear appropriate length shirts and students are not allowed to show their stomachs. This also applies to off the shoulder styles. We need all undergarments covered please. Thanks for your cooperation at home.

2019-2020 School Calendar (next school year)

Ron Clark's 55 Essential Rules and 7 Habits

We focus on both of these character trait initiatives to help us become stronger scholars and citizens.

This week, ask your child about Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind, Have a Plan

Planning ahead and setting goals is an important part of the Leader in Me focus. Students are encouraged to do things that have meaning and make a difference. Being an important part of the classroom and contributing to our school’s mission and vision are key to success with this habit. We look for ways to be a good citizens.

Essential Rules:

Rule 26: Do not save seats in the dining room or morning meeting. If someone sits down, let him or her. Do not try to exclude anyone. We are a school family and we must treat one another with respect and kindness.
